Default People w/b16's...Brake Booster/MC options...

Got my b16 in finally and now my brake pedal almost hits the floor.
So i decided to do a search on brake upgrades and i ran across the following link
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=2

It seems that an 89 lude master cylender will work for our EF's...
would this be enough to correct my problem?
What are some of your brake setups?

my setup i recently installed consists of a stock si booster and MC, steel braided lines, integra rear disk setup and prop valve. i havent gotten to bleeding the system yet but a bunch of my buddies have done this swap and love it. check out http://www.fourthgenhatch.com/reardiscswap.html for some ideas. as for the prelude booster and MC i dont see why it wouldnt work, but i could be wrong. hope this helped.

just installing a b16 wont do anything to the brakes. they are two completely seperate systems. the only thing that is shared is the big vacuum line that goes to the booster.. just makes sure that is on tight and its not leaking.

crx_88_si is right but the 15/16ths MC is an awsome mod, probably my fav other than my b16. I got my MC from an Accord, they're everywhere.
